Build or buy?

He said in post #11 he wanted a 300 but I agree with you that if most shots are with in 200yds its a bit much...personally id rather have a 300 because I can make it shoot like a 308 but a 308 can not shoot like a 300.

Longrange- that's is a bad ask looking muzzlebreak! I've never seen one in stainless.

Thanks...it works fantastic.

After hunting hogs for a while, for me a 300 WM has too much recoil for a quick follow up shot and with hogs you will get a lot.
I set up a 7mm RM and it was even a bit too stout unless I downloaded it.

IMO about the perfect hog caliber is a 338 Federal and loaded with Barnes bullets. Big bullet little recoil and just drops hogs in their tracks.

A 338 Edge with 160 Barnes will do the job with very little recoil. If you need a little more knock down power for that special big hog, just slip a bullet loaded with a 300 Berger in it, I will guarantee you only one shot will be required.

Of course the hog hunter is available from the factory and cheap in 338 win and it would make allot of sense if you wanted more thump than the 308 but inside of 200 you just can't beet a plain old 308 win. My little 338 win hog hunter shoots inside a 1/2" with nothing but a stock swap.

I'm building off a Stevens 200 30-06 donor. Building a 7mm Mag and 25-06; going to brake the 7 Mag. Live in West Texas so we have longer ranges on hogs, antelope, deer, and some smaller elk.
